I actually decided to go with Dura Ace 9-speed Index downtube shifters on the steel frame I'm building up, because I could get them brand new with cables for $67 (Chain Reaction Cycles), whereas the Brifters would have set me back around $200. I'm going with 9-speed rather than 10-speed because it gives me parts compatibility/exchangeability with my other modern-drivetrain bike.
